PROLOGUE
For my part, I was one of those that scored unusually
high on achievement tests, but did poorly in classes.
There was just not enough in the HPSD to keep kids
like me from looking outside the window, because the
classwork was so goddamned boring.
When I graduated in 1982, I began to discover what
the HPSD failed to offer. I took my ASVAB in 1984,
and scored high enough to have my pick of any job
in the military I wanted. I chose communications.
In 1987, I began working as a direct support
technician on FM tactical radio equipment, which
was a prize job. I was only one of 5 in the entire
battalion qualified for such work.
Frank Zappa once said, "If you want to get an
education, go to the library." I learned more
in the Hattiesburg Public Library than I did
in the classroom.

how to deal
